Okay Guys & Gals,
A few of you may be already aware that we are looking at the possibility of running a Club Cruise for 2011.
This thread is an expression of interest only, of who may tentatively be interested in coming along.
Singles, Couples, Secret partners , kids ,who ever
We want to make this an fantastic event.
The last one l put together was two years ago and l took along 29 people, and it was a fantastic trip.
As l am in the travel industy, special groups rates do apply & in most cases cabin upgrades for free etc.
Looking at a 3 night quick cruise or maybe go the whole hog and do a 7 nighter.
Cruise departs Brisbane and return.
May look at Mid September 2011, to allow people to save up, but only as a suggestion.
Average cost for 7 nights based on $800 - $900 per head.
Ship: Pacific Dawn (Noumea, Lifou, Vanuatu) typical cruise destination as an example.

Please throw some feedback, and see if we can slowly put something together later in the year, when the new 2011 program is published.:)

in todays news again,
but it should be cheap, as it has lost it's 'good' name now

Hey Kelvin,

Yes it is kids friendly, and the facilities are really good for the kids.
Heaps for them to do, and when you want to have a break from them for a while, they have kids group care.:)

In regards to September, the weather over in Vanuatu is much better, as out of wet season.
The sea also that time of the year is alot smoother on average.

FYi

Looking at return transfers ex home to Terminal in one bus.
Pending numbers, dedicated cabin location & Deck A.
Dinner, Tables located all together, but can rotate seating each night so everyone can have a yak to different people over dinner.
Our own personal check-in staff at the Brisbane Wharf to handle formalities.

Once the 2011 Book is out, then we can go into more depth:angel:, the overall facilities and itinerary for all to consider.

Well
You know what they say "where there is a boat full of Fender and Disco owners, there is a Submarine full of RRC owners going in for the kill":D:D

Dont go in July as we will be in Villa kicking back in our little hideaway. You P&O dudes stick the prices up when your in.

If I had a spare 300k I could buy Vanuatu jet boats and give you a good deal:cool: Promise
(even if I had it Kathryn wont let me go. She knows I wont come back)

Interested in this one. We've been wanting to go for a while but the boy has to reach 3 so we too can enjoy ourselves. The timing for this works out well.

Hi Kelvin,

Passports will be required, but plenty of time to sort it out.
You can do it on line pretty easy, and then take paper work to your local Aust Post Office for verification etc.
